HI SE,
The reasons you list to like Mozart, while interesting, are totally beside the point in my view. If one needs to be a musicologist, sociologist, or a composer to enjoy any composer the music has failed. You simply make my point.Take Schonberg for example. His serial forms no doubt interest the musical technologists but is music that only a mother could love. I can appreciate the original thinking but at the same time leap to change the radio station.
Obviously. I am fascinated by Mozart's life. I think it is compelling. But it does not follow that I am equally captured by his music.
